About Alex - Chart Freak

I’ve been a full time trader for well over a decade and began trading in the late 1990s while working in management and sales at a well-known aerospace company. As my style evolved, so did my success, and it allowed me to leave corporate America to pursue my passion and trade full time.

Pieces Of The Puzzle For growth

April 11, 2016 /139 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

The environment for trading in 2016 has been excellent for traders and investors that knew where to look. If you have been a subscriber since January, then you have seen so many trade ideas blossom and grow. We have been finding various sectors that had bullish set ups that many were actually afraid to trade in. Coming out of their lows, the potential has been tremendous if you know what to look for.

.

For example, just look at this one stock.

MUX - Whether you traded it, or bought and held when it was recommended, it is up over 100% from its lows.

Lets look at a number of current trade set ups with conditions that favor the upside...

Starting Gun

April 10, 2016 /26 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

This weekend report will be slightly different from past weekend reports. I usually like to cover "Everything" in my weekend reports. I want this report to focus more on what I think could be important at this moment, and less on everything else. We will discuss the meaning of the Starting Gun too, but if you've been here for a while, I would imagine that you know exactly what I am talking about.

.

SPX - Less important right now to my current trading. See Fridays report for thoughts on the SPX.

Friday April 8

Lets review a few things on this final day of the trading week

April 7, 2016 – Signs Of Strength

April 7, 2016 /113 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

Signs of strength are popping up everywhere...

.

April 4th - I've been expecting a dip down to a dcl.

We had the Fed Minutes released today and the SPX ( or markets in general ) is NOT breaking down. These markets are not breaking down at the 13 sma, and they look like they still want higher prices. Is this just going to go sideways as a consolidation?

Consider this too...

PUBLIC POST – REVIEWING THE BIG PICTURE

April 6, 2016 in Public /by Alex - Chart Freak

Here at Chartfreak, we discuss the day to day market movements and trade set ups, but we also review the bigger picture at times too. So in this weekends premium report, that's what we did. I'm going to release about 75% of my weekend report here, to give you some of my bigger picture views. Please remember that since this was the weekend report, many of these charts are from last Friday. Enjoy.

.

SPX QUARTERLY - In 2015, I pointed out bearish signs that I was seeing in the markets and expected a drop. Then I showed subscribers this chart back in January. I was pointing out the break below certain critical areas where bear markets began at prior tops. I said we would watch these on a Quarterly, Monthly and Weekly basis, to see if we have put in another top.

4-6-2016 FED Again

April 6, 2016 /74 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

By the end of the day, we'll all be well Fed. The Fed minutes are released today. Will the markets react? We shall soon see.

.

SPX - April 1 - Expecting a pull back

SPX April 5- We are getting a pull back and finally breaking below the 13 sma that I have been watching.

Even that MACD that was holding tight is breaking down, lets see what the Fed can do.

Stretching It Out

April 5, 2016 /83 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

The various sectors of the markets continue to chug along and stretch out, ahead of the FED this week. The Fed Minutes are released Wednesday. Obviously since the weekend report was posted, not a whole lot has happened, but lets review our expectations anyway.

.
SPX- An idea from the weekend report. A pullback similar to the OCT -Nov run higher.

I captured this chart of the SPX Midday today. Notice...

APRIL 2016 – REVIEWING THAT BIG PICTURE

April 4, 2016 /67 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

Here at Chartfreak, we have always discussed the day to day market movements, trade set ups, and the bigger picture where things seem to be heading as time goes by. So in this weekend report, lets discuss the various sectors of the markets again, short term and the Big Picture scenarios.

.

SPX QUARTERLY - If you were subscribing back in January, you may recall this chart. I was pointing out the break below certain critical areas at prior tops never recovered, and I said we would watch these Quarterly, Monthly and Weekly.

April 1 – Jobs

April 1, 2016 /19 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

The Jobs report was released and I dont really see anything that I didn't expect at this point. Since it is the last trading day of the week, I'm just here to do a quick review.

.

SPX - This was the chart in the Thursday report. I expected a pullback with that toppy candle Wednesday. It may not be a huge pullback, I do expect another run higher in the next daily cycle.

Wednesday March 30 report

March 31, 2016 /53 Comments/in Premium /by Alex - Chart Freak

The various sectors of the markets have been a bit tricky to identify strength-wise in the short term. I'll show you what I mean...

.

SPX - With this set up, I wondered if we saw an Early dcl. We had the trend line break and a move below the 10sma. If THAT shallow pull back is all we got, this little rally could become quite the threat moving higher.

But...
